yraD | Putative spore coat protein; Evidence 3: Function proposed based on presence of conserved amino acid motif, structural feature or limited homology; cell process. (99 aa) | ||||
spoVB | Putative putative translocase with flippase function for teichoic acid synthesis; Involved, directly or indirectly, in spore cortex biosynthesis. Affects only indirectly the expression of late sporulation genes. (518 aa) | ||||
bofC | Bypass of forespore C, intercompartmental signaling factor; Inhibits the SpoIVB zymogen from undergoing autocatalytic activation by an unknown mechanism, and in this way plays a role in the sigma-K checkpoint of sporulation. (170 aa) | ||||
safA | Morphogenetic protein associated with SpoVID; Probably involved in the assembly of some coat protein components implicated in both lysozyme resistance and germination. Could be required for the assembly of CotG. Associates with SpoIVD during the early stage of coat assembly. (387 aa) | ||||
obg | GTPase involved in cell partioning and DNA repair; Necessary for the transition from vegetative growth to stage 0 or stage II of sporulation, but sporulation subsequent to these stages is unaffected at 45 degrees Celsius. This ts effect is probably due solely to the E-79 mutation. Required for expression of early sporulation genes, further suggesting a role in the induction of sporulation. Depletion effects on sporulation can be partially suppressed by missense mutations in spo0A. Strains depleted for obg stop growing after about 3 hours and do not induce the sigma-B factor following e [...] (428 aa) | ||||
spo0B | Sporulation initiation phosphotransferase; Key element in the phosphorelay regulating sporulation initiation. Acts on spo0A. Mediates reversible phosphoryl transfer from spo0F to spo0A. (192 aa) | ||||
spoIVFB | Membrane metalloprotease; Implicated in the coupling of mother cell to forespore gene expression. Required for spore formation. Processes the pro-sigma K factor. (288 aa) | ||||
spoIVFA | Regulator of SpoIVFB (stage IV sporulation); Implicated in the coupling of mother cell to forespore gene expression. Required for spore formation at 37 degrees Celsius, but not at 30 degrees Celsius. SpoIVFA plays a central role in both maintaining the SpoIVFA/BofA/SpoIVFB complex and anchoring it to the outer forespore membrane. SpoIVFA brings BofA into close proximity to SpoIVFB, allowing BofA to inhibit SpoIVFB. Increased accumulation of SpoIVFA seems to inhibit the activity of SpoIVFB and thus regulates the activation of sigma-K. (264 aa) | ||||
spoIVA | Morphogenetic stage IV sporulation protein; ATPase. Has a role at an early stage in the morphogenesis of the spore coat outer layers. Its ATP hydrolysis is required for proper assembly of the spore coat. Forms a basement layer around the outside surface of the forespore and self-assembles irreversibly into higher order structures by binding and hydrolyzing ATP thus creating a durable and stable platform upon which thereafter morphogenesis of the coat can take place. Required for proper localization of spore coat protein CotE and sporulation-specific proteins including SpoVM. (492 aa) | ||||
spoIIB | Stage II sporulation protein B; Involved in endospore development. (332 aa) | ||||
spoVID | Morphogenetic spore protein (stage VI sporulation); Required for assembly of a normal spore coat. May be a component of the innermost layer of the spore coat that aids in its adherence to the prespore. (575 aa) | ||||
etfA | Electron transfer flavoprotein (alpha subunit); The electron transfer flavoprotein serves as a specific electron acceptor for other dehydrogenases. It transfers the electrons to the main respiratory chain via ETF-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (ETF dehydrogenase) (By similarity). (325 aa) | ||||
tpx | Putative peroxiredoxin; Thiol-specific peroxidase that catalyzes the reduction of hydrogen peroxide and organic hydroperoxides to water and alcohols, respectively. Plays a role in cell protection against oxidative stress by detoxifying peroxides. (167 aa) | ||||
sspA | Small acid-soluble spore protein (alpha-type SASP); SASP are bound to spore DNA. They are double-stranded DNA- binding proteins that cause DNA to change to an a-like conformation. They protect the DNA backbone from chemical and enzymatic cleavage and are thus involved in dormant spore's high resistance to UV light. (69 aa) | ||||
ytgP | Putative enzyme involved in polysaccharide biosynthesis; Involved in peptidoglycan biosynthesis. Transports lipid- linked peptidoglycan precursors from the inner to the outer leaflet of the cytoplasmic membrane. Not essential for growth. (544 aa) | ||||
ytxO | Outer spore coat protein; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type s: structure. (143 aa) | ||||
cotSA | Spore coat protein; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type cp: cell process; Belongs to the glycosyltransferase group 1 family. Glycosyltransferase 4 subfamily. (377 aa) | ||||
tgl | Protein-glutamine gamma-glutamyltransferase (transglutaminase); Probably plays a role in the assembly of the spore coat proteins by catalyzing epsilon-(gamma-glutamyl)lysine cross-links. In wild-type spores at 37 degrees Celsius, tgl mediates the cross-linking of GerQ in higher molecular mass forms, probably in cooperation with YabG; Belongs to the bacillus TGase family. (245 aa) | ||||
kinB | Two-component sensor histidine kinase; Phosphorylates the sporulation-regulatory proteins spo0A and spo0F. Spo0F is required for the KinB activity. (428 aa) | ||||
yuzC | Inner spore coat protein; Evidence 2b: Function of strongly homologous gene; Product type cp: cell process. (122 aa) | ||||
sspG | Small acid-soluble spore protein; Evidence 1a: Function experimentally demonstrated in the studied strain; Product type f: factor. (48 aa) |
